I absolutely love Beck's Prime...I'm not a big red meat eater, but their burgers are definitely an exception for me. Most recently, I was at Beck's Prime for a party, so I'll review based on that. Obviously the food was good; they served burgers, chicken, and hot dogs with all the usual sides and condiments. They prepare the burgers while you wait, so food is fresh and prepared to your liking. The staff was very friendly and personable to all of the guests. They were also on top of keeping the space clean and orderly while the party was going on. The space is great for a smaller party and can take any hits that rough and tumble 13 year old boys might give it. I always have a great time at this Beck's Prime-this was the second time that I've been there for a party and it was just as good as I expected.

We just returned from the Memorial restaurant and it was a real disappointment. The food was definitely NOT "fresh cooked". The burger tasted like it had been cooked previously and re-heated in the microwave. The fries were over cooked.

I don't like chains. They tend to become slaves of corporate greed and cut corners; the result is usually under-par food. Beck's Prime might just be the exception to the rule. Not content with having a solidly good burger, they step things up with some of the best milkshakes in Houston. And best of all? It's located smack dab in the middle of Memorial Park! Talk about an awesome location. The burgers have good, flavourful beef and crisp, fresh vegetables; they finish things off with some of the best, buttery buns in the business to make it the meanest burger in town. Of course, quality comes with a price, and expect to pay a good 12 dollars a head here, but when you take into consideration how damn good the burgers are, you pay it happily.

Beck's has a wide variety of burgers and mine have always been good. That said, they're pretty pricey for what you get. On the other hand, some of their locations are great including one with a huge oak tree beneath which diner's can eat in an almost park-like atmosphere. I prefer the local Barnaby's chain of burger places; table service for just about the same price.

Pros: Good hamburgers

Cons: Can be a bit slow and not a great value considering no table service.

I've had many hamburgers, but Beck's Prime is not only the best in Houston, but in Texas, as well. It's consistently great at any time I go. My burger starts with a great char-broiled beef patty, seasoned just right. The burger comes with fresh vegetables and toppings on their famous yellow bun. They just simply taste better than any I've ever had. I get great sides like fresh-cut fries, which I always order, and they are out of this world. I've also had their chocolate shake and it's the best. I will be back for more.

Everyone who has eaten at Becks knows that the food quality is some of the best in town. If you want frozen burger patties or reconstituted chicken or french fries with a hundred ingredients, you go somewhere else. If you want your food cooked to order (and that means if you want medium rare, you get it. Not like at other places where you can only get your burger medium because they've already cooked it) you come to Becks. I used to order the Hickory Burger all the time, but now that they've added the Ahi Tuna sandwich, I order that at least twice per week. Yesterday, I ordered the Mediterranean salad with Ahi Tuna on the side, and it was awesome.

Beck's Prime is the most overrated restaurant chain in the Houston area. Poor value for the money, very average quality food. I have eaten at three of the locations, including the one in The Woodlands, Kirby, and Memorial Park. One can walk across the parking lot to Fuddruckers in Grogan's Mill where burgers can be customized with better quality meat and veggie toppings. I know this stuff! Take my advice -- only eat here unless other options are exhausted! I just hate getting ripped off at restaurants with mediocre chow.

We have been coming to Houston for over a year now and have searched very hard for a good place to eat.
Today we found that place. Everything was homemade and very good. It was very clean and the help was very friendly. I highly recommend this Becks Prime.

The best thing about Becks Prime is that even though I eat there a lot - at least 2-3 times per week - I still haven't gotten tired of the menu. Sometimes I order a chicken sandwich, sometimes a steak, sometimes a burger or a salad. The food is always fresh, and the employees are friendly, and I can customize any dish I want. The burgers are 1/2 pound and juicy, and they're way tastier than other restaurants (Fuddruckers, Red Robin, Chili's, etc) plus they're less expensive because I don't have to tip a waiter. I used to visit Houston a few times per year, and now one of the best things about living here is that I get to eat at Becks any time I want.

Becks Prime not only has the best hamburgers in town but they also offer many other items that I love. The steak sandwiches, stuffed potatoes, FAJITAS, and the milkshakes are all delicious and they have the best queso in town - far better than the Mexican food restaurants - and I love Mexican food! Take home steak dinners from the drive-through on special occasions beat many of the best steakhouses I have been too - you probably think I am crazy but try it and you will understand! I love the outside seating and the employees are always very friendly and helpful. If you want cruddy cheap fastfood - go elsewhere, you will get what you pay for at Beck's Prime. (This is the first time I have ever posted anything on the internet - my husband had to help me - testament to Beck's Prime. Also, I am an expert on queso, trust me)

Pros: Great value and great service. Any way I want it. Cannot believe it is fast food. Unique.

The Sugar Land location has without a doubt, the best cheeseburger in town. Get the JB Burger!! Whataburger doesn't even belong in the same category with Becks. They need to work on the grilled chicken and grilled vegetables though. The chicken was tough and the vegetables tasted like lighter fluid. Love the outside dining. Get the burger, you'll be happy you did, trust me!

We are long time customers. Since we walk in the park 5 days a week we were lunching there probably at least 2 to 3 times a week. They recently increased their prices---which we didn't mind. But the quality of the food skyrocketed down! The caesar salads are now covered in watered down dressing, plus the sizes have halved while the price went up $1.50. We ordered a chicken dish which now costs $15 (which we can get in a nice restaurant for the same price or less with a lot more & better food) and there was hardly any food on the plate: 2 small chicken breasts and about 5 mushrooms with a bit of melted cheese. Not good! When my husband asked about the order he was told "I know you'all are long time customers" & "sorry". Nice place to eat outside but we're giving it up for awhile to see if they bring the quality of the food back up.

I have been going to Becks for 15 years. I think it is a great value. The quality has always been first rate and very consistant. Don't think they are after the "who can give the largest portions" market. They seem to appeal to the customer who wants a quality product. Some people can't tell the difference...I can.

the burgers are way overpriced for what they are, they are only 5 oz burgers with all the fixings piled up, the fries are so horrible, soggy, small, and regular size fries is less than what you get at a fast food for $2.50. Too much money for so little and not so good food. Not all that! good steaks, but again overpriced, steak by itself is over 16.00, if you want baked potatoe you're gonna pay over $25.00 not worth it, might as well go to Ruth Chris.
